It seems a lot of the debate centers around whether climate change is happening, or whether it's manmade or a natural cycle.

But assuming it IS happening and it IS because of us, what exactly would the solution be?

Enact policies to curb carbon emissions and encourage the development of alternative energy sources (aside: why do all you global warming hippies geek over solar and wind and not suggest the obvious pragmatic tech of nuclear power?)? Do we force other countries to do the same? Go to war over it?

Climate change began back when the earth was a spinning ball of hot gas. The first change was it cooled down. Man came around a billion years later and arrogantly took credit for climate change because mammals fart methane and our machines exhaust carbon dioxide.

Quite different from slow, natural changes in climate that have happened in the past.
